Android emulator shows nothing but blank screen

android, android-virtual-device

Solution

I had the same problem, running on a Mac Book Pro bought in 2011.

I solved it by selecting "Use Host GPU" as the emulation option at the bottom of the "Create..." screen.

Problem

I am a complete beginner to Android programming and trying my hands at it for the first time by going through the tutorials. The problem is that I have created multiple emulators using Android 4.4.2 API and none of them show anything but blank screen. I tried an AVD with Google API 19, but that's not working either. How can I figure out what's wrong with it?
